How to plan to avoid emergency c sec?

Assuming of cos the baby is in right position, no underlying issues and doctor gives go ahead for natural birth. Oh I’ve low pain tolerance 🥲 and possibly want to choose date of birth I do not want a planned c sec before week 39. So I’ve to lean towards a natural birth. There might be a few scenarios 1. Natural baby comes before week 39 2. Induce, natural or Plan c sec after week 39 before week 40 3. Induce, natural? Plan c sec after week 40 ?? I like option 3 😂 Can you share your experiences on why you needed e c sec even tho doc cleared for natural birth? And at what week? Is it true that once baby poops inside it is confirmed e c sec? Once water bag breaks, can still do c sec?

my #1 - i was 40 weeks 5 days, no signs of labour. i told the doctor to induce me cos i was tired of being pregnant. lol. so i went through 29 hours of labour, without epi. managed to deliver naturally. almost needed to go for csect because doctor already burst my water bag. phew. #2 - 23 hours of labour and when i reached hospital, i was already 8cm dilated. i was already in pain at home but i thought it was because of the cervix check they did earlier in the day. delivered naturally too. #3 - decided to turn head up and legs down during week 36 and no chance of turning back. sigh. doctor asked if i wanted to let him try to turn him, but of course there were risks involved and i might end up with an emergency c-section. so i skipped it and went for csect at the date given. if you ask me, i’d 💯 choose natural birth over csect. csect recovery was taking a toll on me 😭
